Eric, Americas player, was forbidden to use the POV by the DR therefore keeping Dick in the game. Its around here somewhere.

eta here:

Trevor - Now one of the biggest tactical moves of the entire game was Eric not taking the opportunity to backdoor Dick and Daniele down the stretch. I think that actually cost you, may well have cost you, the game because if he backdoors Dick and Daniele one of them will go home and I had you getting to the final two in that scenario. What was your thoughts on that, like looking back on it what do you think of that whole situation?Jessica - Well *big pause*, um I'm gonna, on the chat we had earlier, Eric explained he wasn't allowed to use the veto that week. The producers said that America wasn't given enough time to decide who he should use it on if he was going to so that just flat out told him he is not allowed to use the veto at all - nominations had to stay the same. Which is why Eric didn't use the veto. I think that's because they knew if he used the veto I was going to put up one of the Donatos, Dick or Daniele, and so they just said you know you can't do it. I didn't know it at the time. I said, 'What? What is going through your head? This is the perfect opportunity to get one of the big dogs out of here' and he wouldn't do it but I went along with him because I had to. He had the power that week. He was my ally. I....

Trevor - Wait a sec. I'd never even heard that. So the producers actually told Eric he wasn't allowed to use the Power of Veto like he told you this beforehand why he didn't use it?

Jessica - No, he couldn't tell me in the house that he wasn't allowed to use it but afterward he said they said 'Do not use it. You don't have a choice. You are to keep nominations the same.'

Rob - So did you pressure him a lot that week to use the veto or?

Jessica - I did. I wanted him to. I didn't pressure him but I talked to him about it saying we have an amazing opportunity right now. I put up two people that were were just kinda like ehh so we have the opportunity to get somebody out that is huge in the game and I wanted to but because he was told that he couldn't he had to keep arguing to me 'No no no. We have the right people up. Trust in the alliance it's all going to be good' and I had to go along with it because I didn't have a choice

i was watching keivn in bbad and he seems soo nervous after his DR session.. he came out and started figuring out math in the air and then used his finger to do imaginary math on the arm rest of the sofa.. he was really nervous..

nat said they get to know about the money on monday that the accountant is off the weekend? LOL that's funny .. pa's do everything! i dont believe her!

ugot I thought for sure Kevin's leg was gonna shake off. It was going a mile a minute!

Final 5 is the worst HOH to win other than the first two HOHs(only one person has won an HOH in the first two weeks and won); only 2 seasons have had winners who have won an HOH in the final 5 cause instead of two turns to keep themselves savf in the final four they get one and then they're on the block

A lot of winners win the last two HOHs and that's how they make it in; Statistics are against you Kevo aha and good since Jeff is dead

Now I'm confused about this key (my classes started, and I am not NEARLY devoting enough time to the BB updates to catch everything).

I KNOW he got the key during the money "comp". But wasn't the key used to release Kevin and nothing more?

And also, if someone can explain the comp (because I don't really get it)...

They got to get money out, but (and this is where I'm confused) when Kevin was released, did the money stop? And if it DID stop, then what purpose would there be for them to release Kevin?

From my understanding the key was used to release Kevin...I could be wrong though. I know the comp was all about pandoras box and not just about the money. I bet we will find out tonight on the show what is going on...Jeff keeps bringing up the key and what it means and so does michelle. Kevin and nat are just blowing it off. Their dialogue and the DR stuff that they keep talking about would lead you to believe the key has some sort of meaning other than releasing kevin Apparently the money did stop when Kevin was released according to a statement jeff made to Kevin...somewhere in the feeds. Jeff said it really wasnt fair that kevin didnt get to participate in the comp because he was locked in the room. All this is just complete speculation I am not sure about anything really

Well, I'm glad I'm not the only one! I wasn't sure how the whole Pandora's Box thing fit in, but I did read the quote that someone put on the threads that talked about "hope".

Hmmm...dare I "hope" that if Jeff get's an extra privilege, Nat will be soo ticked that "BB is fixed" that she'll hit the skids and run off into BB obscurity?

I think if that key Jeff has was initially only to set kevin free from the room, BB will change it's power so that Jeff is somehow safe. JMO of course I would be shocked if Jeff leaves this week with so many JJ fans that are raising cain on almost every BB site. Also with the post puddin did on Jessica's interview with Rob and Trevor ...there is no doubt that BB manipulates F2 according to the fans likes and dislikes. Thankfully most everyone likes Jeff I could be totally wrong too and Jeff goes to jury this week

Wow.....I am really behind.....haven't been able to watch feeds or read updates.....First, I don't like Nat and I think she is a ball of lies. I was watching the flashbackto where they were talking about Pandora's box and the money. This has nothing to do with it but the whole time she was eating strawberries and double/triple dippingher strawberries in what looked like a new container of Cool Whip.

I see Jeff is on the block.....was he upset that he was put up? I thought he had "this deal"with Nat and Kev that he would not go up

Anybody wish Sept 15th would get here already? I'm so glad it's going to be over in 16 days. Overall, it has not been a good season but I enjoyed watching Jeff and Jordan despite their stupid game play. I am looking forward to the two hour finale and it should be good and lots of questions will be asked.

I have been wishing September 15th would get her for a few weeks now I am also wishing, somehow Nat's scrappy behind is outta there this week too

I have no clue what the deal is with the secret room is other than it has to mean more than just free money. They were told specifically from DR NOT to call it a luxury comp...and if it was just a luxury comp why would Julie tease it on Thursday's show? Unless they are really desperate for ratings, there's gotta be a part 2 to this, whether it's good or bad. Since it happened before noms...I'm hoping we see what's happened so far on tonight's show.

I think J/J have played a stupid game lately, and I also don't like the way he treated Michele AT ALL.

But having said that, there are times that I find him extremely hilarious.

I loved on the show a few weeks back when Jeff asked Jordan to "marry him" and she went on to talk about what kind of ring she wanted...And as he is playing pool, he says to himself "I can't believe I'm engaged..." Cracked me UP!

Sooo, even though he is not my fave anymore, I am GREATLY appreciative that he stayed as opposed to Ronnie, Jess, Lydia, Chima, etc...

Talk about wanting the season to end quickly ~ could you even IMAGINE? (hmmm - although secretly, I would have gotten SOME pleasure watching them tear each other to shreds)

I was very disturbed while watching BBAD this morning. Jeff and Jordan were in the GR, and Jordan was so smashed she could barely walk. She said she was going to take a shower, and Jeff basically said OK and walked outside. She was in the shower for quite awhile and he did not go inside to check up on her one single time. I think he asked Michele who walked out into the BY - "is Jordan still in the shower?" He still never got up to check on her! Then - Michele was pretty tanked and she went into the pool, and they all laughed at her, but then just ignored her. What kind of people are these? I don't care if you like someone or not - as a responsible human being, isn't caring about another person's well-being a moral obligation? I know there are cameras, and people are watching, but in the time it would have taken for Michele to drown, or for Jordan to slip and fall in the shower, no one besides the HGs could have moved fast enough. This is the part of the "social experiment" that is Big Brother, that is very telling about those people as people. taking Michele and Jordan out of the equation, since they were incapacitated, out of the three remaining - two were stone sober, one had a couple, NONE cared about anything beyond the tip of their own finger. I can't get past that. Michele gets my vote.
